## Description

Gekko is a Node.js trading platform and automated Bitcoin trading bot designed to execute buy and sell orders across multiple cryptocurrency exchanges. It functions as an algorithmic trading system that uses a standardized exchange integration gateway to connect with various external trading platforms.

The system includes a backtesting engine that simulates trading strategies against historical market data to evaluate performance before live deployment. It employs an adapter-based integration model to normalize diverse exchange API responses into a consistent internal format.

The platform provides capabilities for event-driven order execution, stateful strategy tracking of portfolio performance, and containerized deployment to ensure consistent behavior across different host systems. It also includes tools for managing network settings, such as host addresses, ports, and security certificates.
